Car nearly hits hit child getting off school bus

[bluejay]

I seriously wonder how some people got their license sometimes. My mom is a crossing guard and once was waving her stop signs at someone who wasn’t stopping. The woman got out and said “I didn’t know what you wanted me to do!” 🤦‍♂️

People who do this should be charged with reckless endangerment to a child.

Dude even had the audacity to honk at them, as if _they_ were in the wrong.

[caedonjohnson.]

You can tell how scared she was when she started yelling to make her stop. Life is scary.

As a mom my heart skipped a beat. I can’t even imagine what was going through the mothers head at that point. Glad both mom and child reacted fast.

This really hits close to home because my cousin was actually hit by a car last year getting off a bus as a senior a few weeks before graduation. She was in a coma for 2 months. She's getting stronger now, but it's just crazy how some people drive and don't bother to pay attention to their surroundings.

Edit: something I forgot to add is that she only had a 10% chance of waking up from the coma. Doctors called her "the miracle patient."

Why do people drive past a bus while kids are getting off, you are supposed to stop no matter what side of the road you are on.

Homie needs a $1, 000 fine, revoked license and a court date so the judge can tac on other charges.

Freaking ridiculous man, the audacity this guy had to honk.

There’s a reason why school signs/speed limits exist. It’s because people are particularly neglectful in school zones. Parents should always be hyper vigilant and walk their children across all roads

You will instantly lose your license if you get caught doing that.

As someone who has 20 years driving experience and a younger sister who just got her license, I always remind her to never assume she's safe because she knows how to drive, but to remember that there are a lot of idiots on the road who don't belong in a car.

I remember getting off the bus one time and a car sped right past. Really annoys the shit out of me how heartless and selfish people can be.

my dad got hit by a car when he was younger he did survive but hid body was literally crushed in the road. he had to be airlifted to a hospital, he had a rock half the size of an eye ball stuck in his eye for 1 month before it fell out, he bad a broken arm, leg, his shoulder dislocated, and he knee popped out, he still had troubles today with walking, his back hurts constantly, he gets nauseous easily, and his bones hurt all of the time.
edit: for anybody who wants to see my dad as of now i just made a short with him its my recent! hes doing much better since it was 30 years ago!

I once pulled up behind a bus that had pulled over somewhat to the side of the road. No red sign out, no lights flashing, I sat there for a minute to make sure there weren't any kids getting off. It seemed like they were just sitting there, so I drove around the bus and soon as I did they laid down their horn (then turned on the sign) and screamed at me along with the parent they were talking to. I got a running a red light ticket in the mail about a month later, little did they know I had a dash cam! Sent the video to the admin and the bus driver was reprimanded and apologized. This person however gave no fks and shouldn't have their license.

Oh my God, this reminded me of my little cousin getting ran over trying to cross the street for ice cream. I had always seen him as a little brother and still do so when I witnessed the whole thing taking place, him crossing and the car slamming his little body to the ground I was so shocked I couldn't react, I saw his body get covered under the car that hit him.

It was the most terrible thing I had to see as a kid and the second worst was to see my aunt crying for her child. I recently came to learn she was supposed to have another kid before my cousin but sadly had a miscarriage and now when I think back to her suffering It breaks me much more to think she could have lost another child.

The woes of a mother are otherworldly, they have a connection to their children us men cannot have and so they hurt more for a loss.

Edit:yes my cousin survived the accident.
And to that religious dude in the comments, people like you are the reason I evaded religion. You guys make it so unbelievably difficult to care about it, honest to god 😂 (saw what I did there)

Driver was later charged. Happened in Houston.

My friend ran across the road without looking and ended up getting hit by a large lorry. She was only 12 at the time and really petite but survived. She was in hospital for a few weeks and then came to school a very different person. Stay safe everybody

in oregon my son was killed at his bus stop while waiting on the sidewalk, and a few months later, another kid died the same way a few towns over, not enough is done for school bus stops. i’m very, very happy your girl is alright. 😊

[Jaricko]

I am a security guard, and next to my guard post a school bus regularly drops off a kid each day. Also near that area is a police station. The amount of times i have seen someone speed passed the stop sign and then have a police officer follow after them is unreal.

this brings back memories, one of my classmates passed away from a car on Nov. 30th. may you RIP. ♥️
